Linda has a new poem published in the 2025 issue, “A Year, A Day, The Spirit of the Lake.” It was initially commissioned by the Lakeshore Community Chorus to be a libretto for an original choral score composed by acclaimed musician David Brunner. The premiere of this composition will be performed in 2026, but the poem will be read by Linda for the Dunes Review‘s 2025 issue launch on Sunday, February 16 at 4:00 pm on Zoom.

For more information about this issue, the reading, and Dunes Review, contact the editors Jennifer Yeatts ([email protected]), Teresa Scollon ([email protected]), or Yvonne Stephens ([email protected]).

Linda recently guest-edited a special issue of an academic journal devoted to the work of Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Lisel Mueller. This issue of Midwestern Miscellany will be published in late 2024 by the Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature.

From October 4-6, 2024, Linda was selected to participate in The Summit, an online series of videos about poetry, writing, and creativity produced by Cervena Barva Press. Her talk was titled “The Prose Poem: An Exploration of the Genre That Defies Boundaries.”
